Kentucky students looking to have college credits or associate's degrees transferred to a four-year university or college will have the opportunity March 6 to have their questions answered in real time.

Students will also be able to download e-brochures, view videos and podcasts, and register for $1,000 scholarships. Additionally, participants will have a chance to win prizes such as iPads, Kindle Fires, basketballs autographed by Rick Pitino and John Calipari, and $50 gas cards.

KCTCS Chancellor Jay Box said it's important for students to hone relationships with four-year colleges and universities before attending them.

"One of the key success factors in the transfer game is connecting with and developing a relationship with four-year institutions prior to attendance. That is why this Transfer Madness event is so important … and a real slam dunk for everyone involved in the transfer game," he said.

To register for the fair, or for more information, visit transfermadness.org. The conversation can be followed on Twitter using hashtag #KYtransfermadness.
